People, in general, are creatures of habit. We become accustomed to a routine. We have responsibilities. And as we follow through with our daily
routines and satisfy those responsibilities, everything else goes on the
backburner. We don’t stop to smell the
roses—to become overwhelmed with God’s beautiful creations. Another thing we don’t do is focus on
self—what makes us smile—what makes us happy—what improves us.
I did a bit of research about how much time people
waste in their life that I’d like to share with you. Taking into account your
entire life:
ü
5
years are spent online
ü
26
years are spent sleeping
ü
366
days are spent being sick
ü
11
years are spent watching TV
ü
5
months are spent complaining
ü
99,117
hours are spent at work
ü
6
months are spent waiting in line
ü
20
weeks are spent being on hold
ü
46,800
hours are spent doing chores
ü
Only 115 days are spent laughing
ü
Only 658 hours are spent cuddling
We spend a massive amount of time dedicated to routine
tasks?! Now, compare the underlined
time—the time you spend doing things that impact your heart and soul. Just IMAGINE if a poll was taken on
vacationing or counting stars or performing your favorite hobby or being
social! Life flies by—and the next thing
we know we’ve aged 10 more years with a bunch of coulda, shoulda, wouldas!
So,
I urge you to take that vacation you’ve wanted to take. Take up that hobby you’ve been putting
off. Enjoy your loved ones before they
no longer exist. Smile often. Laugh loudly.
Dance badly. Sing off-key along
to songs. Count stars. Sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Enjoy.
Your. Life.
